Back to the western world!

3rd January 2012 to 10th January 2012

After two 7ish hour flights I arrived in Sydney, knackered from being awake for who knows how long and travelling for about 16 hours, but relieved to be back in a warm country and able to communicate effectively again!

During 1 week in Sydney I did the following;

Stayed in 1 good hostel and 1 bad hostel

Saw the Sydney opera house

Saw the harbour bridge and walked over it to get to Luna park

Woke myself up clicking my fingers in my sleep

Walked around Darling harbour

Went up Sydney tower

Saw the Royal botanical gardens

Discovered that Burger King is called Hungry Jacks in Australia

Took a ferry to Manly

Played volley ball on manly beach

Walked around north head

Found Collins beach, which was awesome

Repeatedly got drunk on cheap goon with complete strangers

Went to Bondi beach

Walked from Bondi beach to Coogee beach along a coastal path

Went to the dentist and paid $160 dollars to have the tooth repaired that I cracked in India

Went to the blue mountains

Saw the "3 sisters"

Walked down the "Giant staircase" (900 steps) only to find out that there was nothing down there and that the last train from there back up left 3 minutes ago

Walked up the "Giant staircase" in 13 minutes and almost passed out at the top
